Can't Connect to Server

Tsunamic_Tuna · #1 06-25-2006, 12:02 PM

People that try to connect to my server are booted back to the login screen.
But people that are part of my LAN can connect and play just fine with no problems.

I tried doing the nat-fix using no-ip but that obviously didn't work as they still can't connect to my server.

I followed step-by-step instructions that are posted for natfix and for the setup of the 7.0 server on the eqemulator home page... The only difference being that i'm using mysql 4.0.24 instead of 4.0.23 but the database works fine so that shouldn't be a problem right?

Yes, I am behind a router but I am also DMZ host. I have made the forwarding changes needed to my router for 9000, 7000-7999, and 5999. Protocol for the forwarding is UDP...

Anyways, any help would be great.

Thanks,
Tsunamic Tuna

Sounds a little contradictive;
If you gave DMZ host privileges to your EQEMU server machine, then you should not be directing ports anywhere. What DMZ host feature does, is remove the routers firewall and expose all ports to the internet for one machine in your LAN.

Lol. Thats exactly what I thought... I swear. But everyone kept telling the that I had to do something with ports or no-ip in order for it to work...

But still... If the router isnt the reason, then why cant remote places connect to my server?

You must be connected to loginserver if they are seeing you there, and you must have some setting somewhere that points to your servers' local IP and not the Internet IP- this is probaly why your can log in from the LAN. Did you setup your eqemeu_config.xml? you should be using the full version, and altered to your server - theres an eqemeu_config.xml.full, whch you set up and change to eqemeu_config.xml.
Also did you fix up you server machines HOST file?

Yes, I did both. Let me show you what i did...

Here is my config file...

Ok so I put my ip in the xml configs and now my zones are getting 10061 error's... Now they know where to look for to find the world server, but it seems like they cant find it.. B/c, they are getting errors.. lol

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>setme</shortname>
<longname>Blades of Fire</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->

<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>Bladesoffire</account>
<password>{CENSORED}</password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Server status. Default is unlocked -->
<!--<locked/>-->
<!-- <unlocked/> -->

<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->

<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. Defaults are shown -->
<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Chatserver (channels) information. Defaults shown -->

<!-- <plugins>plugins</plugins> -->
</directories>
</server>

&& This is exactly whats happening to the zone server.

Code:

---------------------------------------------
[06.25. - 17:57:45] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_4012.log
[06.25. - 17:57:45] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..

[06.25. - 17:57:47] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...
----------------------------------------------

What do I do now?

Part of whats wrong that I can see is that you also need TCP on those ports as well.

Tsunamic_Tuna · #8 06-26-2006, 05:58 AM

And that can only be one if the router allows it right?

Wait... Ok so the router lets me make it both UDP and TCP... Should I do that?

change to..

Ok I tried that, and i'm still getting error 10016.

I tried that also... Didn't work.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Tsunamic_Tuna · #10 06-26-2006, 06:50 AM

Ok i completely reset the router and it still isn't working...
Also, with the no-ip host, what server type should it be set on?

DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect
or
Web Redirect

Thanks!
